WERRIBEE
Werribee was a hive of activity and colour at the weekend, with thousands of people flocking to this year’s Weerama Festival.
The three-day festa began with Busk at Dusk in Station Place on Friday night, giving would-be singers and songwriters a chance to show off their talents.
On Saturday, families flocked to Chirnside Park for a children’s fun-fest, followed by a fireworks display. Then on Sunday, close to 15,000 people lined Watton Street for the annual parade.
Festival director Warrick Lynch said 1000 people representing 56 community groups took part in the parade.
Students from The Grange College led the way, carrying banners spelling out “Weerama”.
“The crowd over the whole weekend was really good,” Mr Lynch said.
“On Saturday night you could hear the cheers from people watching the fireworks from the street.”
